    Laminate flooring is made of several layers that are fused together through a lamination process. The top layer is a clear, hard-plastic wear layer that protects the floor from scratches and fading. Below it is a high-resolution photograph of real wood or stone, giving it a realistic appearance. The core layer is made of fiberboard or particleboard, providing durability and stability.

    Laminate flooring is a practical and attractive flooring option for homes, offering the aesthetic appeal of real wood or stone with added durability and resistance to wear and tear.

    Benefits of Laminate Flooring

    Laminate flooring offers numerous benefits in a home. Its durability makes it ideal for high-traffic areas and households with pets and children. Maintenance is a breeze, as it is easily cleaned with regular sweeping and occasional mopping. Additionally, the installation of laminate flooring is simple and effective.

    Laminate flooring is also water-resistant, and with some brands waterproof. This makes it suitable for kitchens and bathrooms and the whole house. It is fade and stain-resistant, ensuring that it maintains its appearance over time. The versatility of laminate flooring allows for a wide range of styles and colors, making it easy to find the perfect fit for any home decor.

    One of the standout benefits of laminate flooring is its cost-effectiveness. It offers the look of hardwood or stone at a fraction of the cost, allowing homeowners to achieve the aesthetic they desire without breaking the bank. In conclusion, laminate flooring provides a durable, low-maintenance, easy-to-install, water-resistant, versatile, and cost-effective option for any home.

    Types of Laminate Flooring

    Laminate flooring comes in a variety of types, including wood, stone, and tile finishes. Wood laminate flooring offers the look of hardwood with a lower price tag, making it an affordable and durable option for any room. Stone laminate flooring mimics the appearance of natural stone, providing a high-end look without the cost and maintenance. Tile laminate flooring replicates the look of ceramic or porcelain tiles, offering a versatile and stylish option for kitchens and bathrooms.

    These laminate flooring options come in various colors, surface treatments, and plank thicknesses, allowing for customization to suit any style or preference. Wood laminate can come in oak, maple, cherry, and other finishes, while stone and tile laminates offer options like marble, slate, and travertine looks. Surface treatments like embossing, hand-scraped textures, and high gloss finishes add visual interest and different feels underfoot.

    The latest trends in laminate flooring include wider planks for a modern and spacious look, as well as mixed-width planks for a unique and rustic appearance. Gray tones and muted colors are popular choices, providing a contemporary and timeless aesthetic. Laminate flooring with realistic textures and high-definition prints continue to gain popularity, offering a natural and sophisticated look for any space.

    Advantages and Disadvantages of Laminate Flooring Compared to Other Types of Flooring

    Laminate flooring offers several advantages compared to other types of flooring. It is more affordable and easier to install, making it a popular choice for budget-conscious homeowners. However, laminate flooring lacks the ability to be refinished and is not moisture-proof, which can be a disadvantage in certain environments.

    One of the benefits of laminate flooring is its extreme resilience, making it resistant to scratches, dents, and stains. Additionally, it comes in a wide variety of designs and styles, giving it a beautiful appearance that can mimic the look of hardwood or stone. Maintenance is also simple, as laminate flooring only requires regular sweeping and occasional mopping to keep it looking its best.

    Compared to other flooring options, laminate flooring is a cost-effective choice that offers easy installation, durability, and low maintenance. However, it may not be suitable for areas with high moisture content and does not have the option of refinishing, unlike hardwood flooring.

    Smart Carpet is great! I ordered my floors and Hunter Douglas blinds directly from them. I cannot stress enough how exceptional the service has been. Install managers “Jude, Joe and Ryan” took great care of my floor issue, and I sooo appreciate it! Kudos to “OTTO” for handling my Hunter Douglas blinds. He was kind and went above and beyond to make us happy. No doubt, I will be spreading the word to my family and friends. They were all terrific. Thank you again!!!!

    Smart Carpet provided excellent customer service. Salesman Shayne was quick to respond, provided many options for flooring, and answered all my questions. The new hard wood vinyl floors and new carpet look great! Outstanding service!

    Smart Carpet was a pleasure to work with. They were punctual, upfront, accommodating and very reasonably priced. They worked with us every step of the way and completed the project within a week of signing our contract. Our sales representative Ruth Kennedy was extremely knowledgeable and gave us a no pressure sales pitch. Through the whole experience she checked in with us every step of the way to ensure we were not just satisfied but happy with the materials, workmanship and the schedule. I’d definitely recommend Smart Carpet for your flooring needs and I’d absolutely request Ruth to be your salesperson!
    Nick S.
    Rima is a class act! Smart carpet should be happy to have her work for their company. She takes care of her customers as if they were her own family and always checks in after the job is completed. We will definitely recommend her.

    Sherrie S.
    Excellent experience with Smart Carpet! Louie and his installers did a great job in our home. Highly recommend them!
    Diana K.
    100% satisfied from beginning to end. Louie came to our house, measured and talked to us about what we expected from the product.
    Bringing in the samples which made it easy to make a final decision. Received a call the next day to make the appointment for installation. Jonathan and his partner removed the old carpets, moving furniture, putting down the padding and then laying down the carpet. These guys were courteous, polite and professional. From the room flooring to the closets, every corner and cut is precise. Absolutely love the carpet. Thank you for bringing brightness to our rooms.

    Ruth and the staff went over and beyond assisting my family with our floors and carpet concerns…Keep up the good work…

    I'm so glad I chose Smart Carpet for my recent installation! Their team was incredibly helpful in guiding me to pick the perfect carpet for my home. The installers did an absolutely great job; they were highly professional and meticulous. My husband was especially happy that they managed to install everything without scuffing his freshly painted stair treads. Everyone involved was professional and did a fantastic job from start to finish.
    Debbie E.
    Great experience with Shayne in Ocean County. We wanted a mixture of floor and carpet to spruce up our basement. Shayne shared different options with us. He made it so easy to make our choices in our own home! Installers for both floor and carpet were professional, friendly and got the job done right! Shayne also helped us previously with carpet for LR and stairs!! I’m sure we will reach out to Shayne again in the future!
    Arielle M.
    From beginning to end a great experience. Louis was personable, accurate and professional. The install crew worked diligently to do an exemplary job, cleaned up and moved furniture back in place without hesitation. A+

    I couldn’t be happier with the new linoleum floor installed by Smart Carper through Costco! From start to finish, the team was professional, punctual, and incredibly easy to work with. Otto helped me choose the perfect style for my space and budget, and the installation was done quickly and with great attention to detail. The floor looks absolutely fantastic and it made a huge difference in the room. I highly recommend Smart Carpet to anyone needing to freshen up their space!
    Sonia M.
    We just had our kitchen flooring installed. Ulysses and Carlos did a beautiful job!! They were very professional and competent young men. We are very happy customers, and highly recommend the Smart Flooring through Costco.
    From the first meeting a very competent salesperson Michelle to the final installation we had a great experience. Thank you!

    I was very pleased with the whole experience. Smart Carpet did a great job on my son’s home, so I used them in mine. Louie made great carpet suggestions and followed through on the entire install. Installation went very well also! I’d use them again.

    I am so happy with my new floor. The guys that came and installed them were awesome. They moved all my furniture and put it all back. They were in and out in no time.
    My sales guy Andrew was awesome, he explained everything to me in detail and there were no surprises. Honestly this is the first time in a long time that I had work done in my house with no problems. I would recommend this company to anyone that wants to redo their floors. I am just so happy
    Brian C.
    This was a superior company. The person that came out and estimated the work did a fantastic job. The workers that came out and put down the rug did an unbelievably good job. The Costco company negotiated the best possible deal pricewise with this company on top of all that they gave me a $900 shop card with Costco. Unbelievable.
    Karen L
    Have used them many times. Ryan was our salesman and was great. Smooth installation and very happy with final product.
    Charna G.
    A very positive experience. The gentleman in the showroom was very patient and informative. I picked out a couple of rugs I liked and he arranged for the mobile showroom to come to my home. Ryan, with the mobile showroom, showed me the samples in my home, which was invaluable. He measured, answered questions and helped me make some decisions. He was a pleasure to work with. Delivery followed a couple of weeks later. I’m very happy with my choice. It was a painless and reasonably priced experience.

    Bill Hicks was absolutely outstanding! He helped me navigate my carpeting needs with professionalism, patience, and efficiency. The installer, Sam, was also equally excellent.
    David B.
    I’ve used Smart Carpet several times over the years - this time around we got Louie for our sales rep and he was great! Very personable, patient and helpful. We made several changes during our renovation and Louie gave us fantastic support - even came back to the house more than once to make sure we were satisfied with our selections. The installation teams were phenomenal. FAST, CLEAN and courteous (they wore slip on shoes so they could remove them and keep the new carpets pristine!)
    Paulyn H.
    This is my fifth time working with Smart Carpet. Rima listened to what I needed and provided me with multiple options based on my descriptions. She helped me narrow it down to my final choice. The whole sales experience was no pressure and she went out of her way to answer any questions I had. Installation was exactly as expected. Sammy was a professional craftsman, and took great care to install the padding and then the carpet in the correct direction (it's a herringbone pattern) and ensure I was satisfied with the results. Everyone was great from start to finish. And j wouldn't hesitate to work with them again if needed.
    Barry K.
    Had a carpet installed in a basement bedroom and staircase. Louie from sales gave us the quote and was really good to work with as far as picking the best padding and carpet for our space. The price was fair and the installation went very well. We liked the communication with Louie and the company. Would use them again in the future. Communication was the key.
    Stephanie D.
    Great service and knowledgeable crew! I needed a quick turnaround and they absolutely delivered. Their recommendations were on point, they came prepared, exceeded all expectations and were a pleasure to work with.
    Christopher G.
    Excellent service! Great pricing!
    Laura G.
    Louie was extremely knowledgeable about the products. He really listened to what I wanted and went the extra mile to order samples for me. He was good with follow up and a pleasure to work with.
    John C.
    Smart Carpet provided a quality installation of my wood flooring. Matt Connor was courteous and informative about the planning and installation procedure. I would highly recommend to others.
    Ryan W.
    We are very pleased with Smart Carpet and Flooring. John came to our home to present options and gave us a fair estimate. The installers were professional and did quality work. Communication and customer service were great throughout the process.
    Denise R.
    Team was awesome. They communicated their timing and kept to it.
    Jennifer G.
    My experience with Smart Carpet couldn’t have been better! Andrew gave us a great consultation and estimate. He was honest, helpful and informative. I needed installation in an extremely short amount of time for my daughter’s room, and he made it happen! Sam came to install my carpet. He was friendly, quick and efficient. The carpet looks beautiful and we are very pleased with the quality. Looking forward to future projects with Smart Carpet.
    Michael G.
    I’ve used Shayne for the second time now in our second Monmouth county home and he’s continued to exceed our expectations with our carpet and flooring needs. He’s very thorough and responsive in helping us.
